I can remember
not too long ago
we sat together holding hands
and I wished you wouldn't let go
Just one of many visits
that we would have together
I banked that many more
were to come... the more, the better
I still can't come to grips
that this is just not meant to be
Why the good Lord would take
you, and your spirit, away from me
I took for granted
that life would just go on
Now I know that
we were all just terribly, terribly wrong
I have a picture of you
and you're on a swing
You are smiling to yourself
and happy with everything
I keep this picture close
imagining that's you now
Up there in heaven doing
what all beautiful angels are allowed
I imagine you up there,
just as always, goofing around
Lighting up the heavens with your
presence, and love abounds
I'm sure the good Lord keeps you close
never knowing what mischief you'll get into
Or maybe it's because He knows
just how good it feels to be near you
No matter which it is
this I know much
How I miss you everyday
knowing I'll never again feel your touch
There are no more phone calls
just to see how you're doing
Only one-sided conversations
and the questions just keep accruing
You were the first person
to see me into this world
You were what I wanted to be
ever since I was a little girl
I guess the Lord saw that
your job here was done
and your job to spead His
good word elsewhere has now begun
I miss you Mommy
wherever you may be...
Thank you for all you've done
and always being there for me.
Dedicated to my hero,
my confidant, my heart,
my mother,

They say a bell chimes
when an angel gets her wings
That's what happened on April 5th
when they gave it to the Angel on the swing
